Trusted security
Take advantage of regular best-in-class security updates by building on top of the Android OS.
Turnkey hardware solutions
Our certified development boards include the System on Chip (SoC), RAM, wireless radios, and more to get you started quickly.
Low barrier to entry
Start prototyping immediately with supported boards and a developer build of Android Things. There's no need for kernel, firmware, or board development.
Build products at scale
Shipping products is easy because our prototype boards are commercial grade. The same boards can be easily customized by your prototype supplier to fit your specific form-factor and other needs, all while running the same software.
